Fast IR port

The Fast IR (infrared) port and optional module uses infrared technology to
send signals between the notebook and a remote system. The IR port is
located on the right side of the system. It can send signals, as well as receive
them. A variety of desktop computers, printers and other peripherals are IR-
compatible. Placing the Gateway Solo 2200's IR port within three feet (one
meter) of another unit's IR port (and using transfer software) will allow you to
send and receive information to that remote desktop computer, printer or
other peripheral. The optional module (the receiver/transmitter) must be
placed no farther away than three feet (one meter), with the module's IR port
directly facing the Gateway Solo 2200's IR port. The other end connects to
the remote system's serial port.
